New to this board so i thought i would start with a list of some of the songs Prince hasn't released but songs i really really enjoy.

The songs are:

Don't Play Me
Gonna Get You High
Supercute
Tangerine
Love U, But Don't Trust U Anymore

'Vavoom' and 'Poor Little Bastard'

These are the only two out of that list I know.

I love Don't Play Me, it's open and honest.

I'm not carring too much for the other one because it seemed to be written in regards of feelings pened, caged, or a lackluster illuion of a wet dream.

I'm not sure why you would think these tracks haven't been released, perhaps you have picked up some dodgy bootleg pertaining to be unreleased tracks?

Don't Play Me is from The Truth which is a mainly acoustic guitar album which comes as an extra 4th disc with the 3CD set Crystal Ball, released in '98. A song with great lyrics about Prince's place in the current music scene, he recently played it live at the Webby awards.

Gonna Get You High is really called High, it was originally the title track for a project called High but that was abandoned and it was released only online first as a download as part of the npgmc's first year incarnation, and then later as part of The Chocolate Invasion online album '04. Since the club is no longer online it is no longer available (legitimately). It's an okay chirpy song but not as strong as it could have been.

Supercute was also part of The Chocolate Invasion, another cool little tune.

Tangerine and I love U But I Don't Trust U Anymore are from Rave Un2 The Joy Fantastic released in '99, Tangerine in a slightly extended form was also on the remix albm Rave In2 The Joy Fantastic in '00 available only through the club. Tangerine is a beautiful little lullaby of a song, I Love U is searingly emotionally painful probably about the break-up of his marriage to Mayte.

Hide The Bone is on the aforementioned Crystal Ball collection, a very funky song with rather infantile lyrics.

Vavoom is another song from The Chocolate Invasion, another funky tune in the style of High.

Poor Little Bastard is the only unreleased out-take on your list. It was recorded sometime between '91-92 for a soundtrack Prince was working on for a musical film called I'll Do Anything. In the end they decided not to do the film as a musical and none of the music was used. Musically, it sounds almost identical to Damn U from the Symbol album so I guess Prince decided to re-use the music for this track for Damn U. It's an okay little ballad but Damn U is far more refined.
